He was named by the Gorilla researcher ‘Kelly Stewart’, who used to observe the group at that time. Titus lost his family members to poachers including his uncle, father, brother and his sisters.

During that time the group had no females, for eight years and the males were observed in Homosexual behavior until when females from other groups started joining the group.

Titus was a leader for quite a long time until he exchanged power to ‘Beetsme’ who had become a silverback and was ready to be in power.

He was in power until his death in 2001. Titus was recorded as one male who sired more children and controlled the largest gorilla group in the world.
